Corn and Green Bean Casserole

Corn and Green Bean Casserole is a hit whenever we make it. This delicious casserole uses French-style green beans, corn, in a tasty cream of celery and cheese sauce. Then it’s topped with a Ritz cracker crumb mixture that includes sliced almonds. Corn and Green Bean Casserole is so wonderful and it’s a great side dish for company or holiday menus. Not only that, this recipe is fairly easy and quick, too.

One of my sons used to call me casserole queen. I love making casseroles — especially vegetable casseroles. Corn and Green Bean Casserole is another great casserole that’s excellent for traditional holiday dinners. Whenever I’ve served this dish, it’s usually been for company and everyone has always raved over it. The crunchy almond-cracker topping is part of what makes this recipe so special.

I got this recipe from Kathy Waite, when she was the pastor’s wife at Southwest Baptist Church, in DeSoto, TX. She brought it to a potluck one time and I loved it. Kathy and I exchanged a lot of fantastic recipes the three and a half years we were members of Southwest Baptist Church. I think of Kathy every time I make this recipe.

If you’re looking for a casserole to WOW your company for the holidays, Corn and Green Bean Casserole is sure to please. Even though some folks might think the combination of corn and green beans sounds a little odd, everyone loves it once they’ve tasted the first bite.

When I first made this recipe in June 2012, it was the first week of my blog. My pictures in the early days were deplorable and I’ve found myself remaking a couple hundred of those beginner posts so that I could get better pictures that truly depict what the recipe is supposed to be about.

I recently remade this recipe (January 2015) for company and, you guessed it, they loved it. I have made this using canned French-style green beans and corn, and I’ve used frozen French-style green beans and corn. I wouldn’t attempt to make this recipe with fresh green beans unless they are blanched first because I’m not sure they would cook thoroughly. This is such a delightful side dish. I hope you put it on your menu plans soon!

Corn and Green Bean Casserole is a fabulous casserole to make especially during the holiday season.

Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes or until lightly browned on top and casserole is bubbling slightly on the sides. I had mixed mine up the day before and refrigerated it, so I cooked it about an hour since it was cold to start. This is what it looked like when I took it out of the oven.

Corn and Green Bean Casserole is so quick and easy to prepare, making it an excellent option for company dinners or holidays.

Every bite of Corn and Green Bean Casserole is scrumptious. You may not think that corn and green beans go well together, but they turn out excellently in this recipe.

Here’s the recipe.

CORN & GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

This delicious casserole uses two traditional favorites: corn and green beans, in an entirely different way. Topped with a delicious cheese sauce and almond-cracker topping, this wonderful side dish is great for company or holidays.

NOTE: Cooking time will have to be adjusted if using frozen or fresh vegetables rather than canned. You will have to blanch fresh veggies before using them.

NOTE: You CANNOT use regular frozen green beans in this recipe. They won't turn out as well. The beans need to be French-cut or they don't cook quickly enough and the rest of the casserole will be burned!

NOTE: Ritz crackers has reduced the size of their sleeves of crackers. You will probably need to add an additional 1/3 to 1/2 sleeve to get the same results.

Corn and Green Bean Casserole is so scrumptious. The combination of the sour cream, cream of celery soup and cheddar cheese really add flavor. Then having the Ritz crackers and almonds on top also give the casserole body, crunch, and more delicious flavors.
